Drywall; Wood; Concrete Or Cinder Block Walls; Mounting Height Considerations - Toptech MultiLoad II DIV-2 Installation Manual

Exterior dimensions of the standard MultiLoad II/ RCU II DIV-2 enclosure are shown in Figures 2.2 –
2.6. There is only one mounting orientation possible; reference Figure 2.2 for the MultiLoad II/ RCU II
DIV-2 Mounting Template. The cable entries are located at the bottom of the unit.
Appropriate fasteners must be selected to support the minimum weight of 24 lbs (11 kg). Toptech
offers the following mounting suggestions for three typical surfaces: drywall, wood, or concrete/cinder
block.
3.4.1

Drywall

Insert four fasteners through the corner mounting holes, shown in Figure 2.2. For the fasteners, use #14 x 1
¾" (M6 x 40 mm) Phillips pan head sheet metal screws inserted in #14 (M6) self-tapping nylon anchors.
Place one #14, 3/8" OD (M6, 10 mm 0D) flat washer under the head of the screw before inserting the screw
into the mounting hole.
3.4.2

Wood

Follow the instructions above for Drywall installation, substituting the #14 x 1¾" (M6 x 40 mm) wood screws
for the four sheet metal screws. Do not use the self-tapping nylon inserts
3.4.3

Concrete or Cinder Block Walls

Follow the instructions above for Drywall installation, substituting the a 1/4 " x1 3/4" Tapcon masonry fastener
for the four sheet metal screws. Do not use the self-tapping nylon inserts.
Drill pilot holes for the Tapcons using a 3/16" x 3 ½" masonry drill bit.
3.4.4

Mounting Height Considerations

When mounting the enclosure, be aware of the limitations that the cover places on screen visibility.
Because the display is inset about an inch [25mm] from the surface of Div-2 and SMP units and the
screen is inset an inch-and-one-half [39mm] in the EXL unit, the enclosure should be mounted so that
top of the screen's visible area is at eye level of the tallest operator. Figure 3.1 shows the visible area
at arm's length and the distance from the ground to the top mounting hole location for a six-foot [1.8m]
tall user. Figure 3.2 shows the offset of the top of the screen's visible area from the top mounting bolt
and the depth of the screen within the unit.
